Leadership Status, Sexual Harassment Training, and Women’s Expectations About Working with Men
Background: Occupational gender segregation is a key driver of labor market inequality and is prominent across occupations, within occupations, and within workplace task groups. This paper explores how structural arrangements and cultural messages shape women’s preferences for working with men vs. women. With respect to structural arrangements, we analyze how women’s relative power on a team influences their partner preference. With respect to cu…
An Empirical Comparison of a Traditional Strategy and Network Scale-Up Method for Prevalence Estimation of Child Trafficking in Sierra Leone
The goal of this paper is to compare a traditional survey method with the network scale-up method (NSUM) for the prevalence estimation of child trafficking in Sierra Leone in 2020. The traditional survey method involved a probability-based, stratified, and clustered multistage sampling design in which adult respondents in 3,070 households were interviewed about trafficking of children who reside in their household in three selected districts. Thi…

Violence Increases Psychological Distress Among Women Trafficking Survivors in Ghana
Human trafficking is a crime that is often shaped by violence, particularly for women who are trafficked. Additionally, trafficking survivors often report severe psychological distress, though research on the causes of this psychological distress is lacking, as there is little longitudinal data available on trafficking survivors. Informed by past literature on the links between violence and mental health among other traumatized groups of women, w…
Conditions of Confinement and Incarcerated Women’s Mental Health
Research on incarceration and mental health from a deprivation perspective has focused primarily on incarcerated men, rendering the links between prison deprivations and women’s mental health largely unknown. Previous research indicates, however, that women experience prison differently than do men, making it important to examine how prison conditions impact women’s mental health. Here, we use national data on 1490 women incarcerated in the Unite…
I'm an adult now
Is identifying as an adult associated with lower rates of participation in risky behaviors? This study focuses on how identity affects health behaviors for young adults. We use an original sample of over 500 18- to 29-year-olds in the United States to explore how self-identification as an adult is associated with three clusters of health risk behaviors: substance use, risky sexual behavior, and risky driving behavior. Consistent with our predicti…
Sexual harassment training and men's motivation to work with women
Falling Behind and Feeling Bad
How do perceived expectations of what it means to be an adult affect mental health? We draw from life course and social psychological literature to argue that falling behind perceived expectations for reaching markers of adulthood is associated with depression and anxiety. We test predictions with data from an original sample of more than five hundred 18- to 29-year-olds in the United States. Consistent with predictions, we find a positive relati…

Inmate Mental Health and the Pains of Imprisonment
We use national data on 5,552 inmates and the 214 state prisons in which they reside to examine how prison conditions are associated with mental health symptoms net of individual-level factors. Structural equation models indicate that prison overcrowding and punitiveness are positively related to both depression and hostility, while the availability of work assignments is negatively related to both mental health indicators. The proportion of inma…
Justice Standard Determines Emotional Responses to Over-Reward
How do people feel when they benefit from an unfair reward distribution? Equity theory predicts negative emotion in response to over-reward, but sociological research using referential standards of justice drawn from status-value theory repeatedly finds positive emotional responses to over-reward. Researchers have proposed methodological explanations for these different findings, but we propose a theoretical explanation—that over-reward based on …
Gender and Organizational Justice Preferences
Despite evidence that women and men possess similar workplace values, debate continues regarding gendered preferences for justice in the workplace. In particular, some have argued that women and men have fundamentally different justice orientations, which lead men to value fair outcomes and women to value fair procedures. Recent research finds that such beliefs may influence managers to reward men with greater monetary rewards than those provided…
Criminalizing Spousal Rape
While efforts to criminalize spousal rape began in the 1970s, by 2002 only twenty-three states had adopted laws that allow for the full prosecution of sexual assault by a spouse. The authors present the first analysis of martial rape law reform to incorporate insights from research on diffusion. The authors find that states are more likely to criminalize spousal rape when women in the state have more economic power. Conversely, states are less li…
Social Structure and Emotion
Procedural Justice, Distributive Justice
Previous research demonstrates that both procedural justice and distributive justice are important predictors of work attitudes. This research, however, fails to examine conditions that affect the relative importance of each type of justice. Here we argue that prior experiences with regard to downsizing shape individuals' workplace schemas, which in turn affect the relative salience of each type of justice for organizational commitment. We test h…

Rape Reporting After Reforms
Using data from the National Violence Against Women Survey, the authors examine whether rapes committed after reforms were more likely to be reported to police than those committed before reforms. The authors also consider whether the gap between the reporting of simple versus aggravated rape has narrowed. They find that rapes committed after 1990 were more likely to be reported than rapes occurring before 1974. Aggravated rape continues to be mo…
The Social Context of Responses to Injustice
Reactions to Injustice
The introduction of work-family policies in the workplace is accompanied by a backlash over the inequities they create. Casting these potential inequities as a distributive justice issue, we examine how self-interest (defined by parenthood and gender) affects anticipated resentment arising from inequitable benefit plans and workloads and how the context (supportive workplace, procedural justice) and liberal gender-role attitudes mitigate feelings…
Perceiving Procedural Injustice
According to the group-value model of procedural justice, individuals determine their status in the group by examining the procedures to which they are subjected. Therefore people attend to procedural justice because procedures provide information about one's social standing, which in turn affects self-esteem. In this paper I expand the group-value model to explain why some individuals detect procedural injustice when others do not. Specifically,…
Organizational Contexts and Conversation Patterns
We investigate whether the larger organizational context affects conversation patterns in informal same-sex task groups. We draw on Ridgeway's recent extension of status characteristics theory to make predictions about the effects of the social composition of an organization's authority structure and gender on conversation variables. Using a quasi-experimental design, we compare conversation patterns in all-male and all-female task groups at a co…
